Where were you, and what led you into that really terrifying situation?

Well, my girlfriend and I were on a vacation out in beautiful Key West.

We did the thing you do in Key West, and that is hike near the, uh, water.

And I saw this, uh, beautiful path, uh, leading to an even more beautiful ocean, and I said, "Ah, that's great.

Let's just go there." And the first thing I remember was hearing this sickening suction sound and suddenly felt this pull and just yelled out, "Quicksand." And before I knew it, we were both, uh, up to our, our calves in it.

And it's true what they say.

The more you fight quicksand, the harder it is to get out.

So unpack for all of us a little bit how being stuck in quicksand led to that revelation and, and talk a little bit about, uh, your, your mindset in that, in that time.
